Mackinac Island Journals for Workers with two different covers show in front of Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan
“I remember watching Tori put this journal together back in 2022 when we were all working on the island. She poured so much thought and creativity into every single page. It wasn’t just a quick project. She actually asked us what we’d want to remember from our summer and included it all. It’s honestly incredible. I’ve bought one every summer since she launched it! I know I’ll be flipping through these memories forever. I’ll probably end up showing them to my grandkids someday haha”

A Note By The Author

Tori Kinley

I’m so excited to be a small part of your Mackinac Island adventure!

Hi, I’m Tori! As a kid, I dreamed of living and working on Mackinac Island. In 2022, I finally made that dream a reality, and it turned out to be the best summer of my life. I shared my experience on TikTok (@tori.kinley), where my story reached over 200,000 followers. That journey inspired me to create something lasting.

I had originally planned to write a book about my time on the island, but I ran into a problem - I kept forgetting to journal consistently, and when I did sit down to write, I often didn’t know where to start. By the end of the season, many pivotal moments had already faded from memory.

After talking with other seasonal workers who felt the same way, I created this guided journal. It’s structured weekly, because let’s be honest, none of us have time to write every day during a busy season. The prompts are designed to spark memories and help you capture your most meaningful moments, while the financial tracking section helps you stay on top of your income goals.

I hope this journal becomes something you’ll treasure for years, and maybe even inspires you to tell your story in your own way.

Wishing you an AMAZING summer,

Tori Kinley
